Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #98 ~ Illustrative with Stamps!!!

A real favourite unless you have too many ideas you want to try out lol...

I had treated myself a new copic pen colour E70, so yum, I loved the muted tone and it led me to try it on a black a white pen drawing...

Often I want to add all the many hair lines to my templates but feel it would be too busy on the mylar and it would possibly interfere with all the creative experimenting too, which totally defeats the object.

I used the Wavy central parting template and added all the hair detail, firstly I very lightly drew in a few in pencil and then bravely went in with my copic multiliner as I knew I wanted this to use my copic pens.

Her clothing was a simple design using the polka dot stencil and the stripe stencil. I coloured in one go and added another layer just in the dots to make them darker, it's like creating with limited supplies.

This could be nearly fairytale-like with her flowing hair, I used the daisy template on her top, which I drew with my multiliner through the holes, the centre dots are separate and very easy to line up.

I used my torso template to position my neck stamps so they would match up.

Then I thought I would try the same illustrative style with the profile version. I so enjoyed drawing such flowy hair. Her clothing I added a simple leaf design, which I drew freehand.

Each girl I've added rosy cheeks, and kept the skin the paper colour. They also wear a crown which I drew using just the first step to keep the drawing simple. I hope it's inspired you to try other styles with the same stamps, it was so fun to create and I could see myself creating a whole sketchbook of these.

I fell in love with these when I first saw them on Hochanda, my Daughter would have loved these in her room when she was younger. Beautifully illustrated Kim and a wonderful way of showing how effective the stamps and templates can be using a small amount of colour. Stunning. Creative Hugs Tracey xx
